hmm, tries to?

> strbuf_addstr(buf, suffix);Your third argument to splice does not look right; if the existing length is very very long, you would need to remove a lot, and if the existing length is slightly long, you would need to remove just a little bit, but you always seem to remove the fixed amount, to splice the suffix in.
In any case, why does this have to be so complex?
In your buffer, you originally have start_len, and would want to end up with "%f" expansion, plus the suffix, but you are not allowed to exceed FORMAT_PATCH_NAME_MAX to store what you add, and are only allowed to chop the "%f" expansion if you are short of room.
Shouldn't it be just:
size_t max_len = start_len + FORMAT_PATCH_NAME_MAX - suffix_len;
if (max_len < buf->len)
strbuf_setlen(buf, max_len);
strbuf_addstr(buf, suffix);The caller must make sure that suffix_len is sufficiently shorter than FORMAT_PATCH_NAME_MAX; I do not know if the current code does that, though.
